This lens has quickly become my "general use" lens. Prior to buying this, I often would switch back and forth between my 24mm and 50mm (both Canon L series lenses), but unless I specifically need the wider angle or want a little more telephoto, I find myself just leaving the 35mm on my primary...

An amazing lens. Search YouTube for detailed reviews. One of the best purchases for my camera I've made. I only wish it had image stabilization.

I spent some time researching this lens in comparison with the Sigma art 35mm f/1.4. In the end I decided that based on superior image sharpness and chromatic aberration. it is the sharpest wide to standard focal length lens that I have ever owned.

I bought this a few months ago but because of a combo of bad weather and some illnesses, I haven't gotten to use it that much. However, the few times I did the lens exceeded my expectations.

This is a truly great lens, I'm very happy with my purchase even though it is a significant investment.

This is an amazing lens for sharpness across the frame - you can absolutely see it crystal clear with a 5DSR. Even at the outmost AF point on the 5DSR it is tack sharp at F1.4! Zero CA that I can tell - the image is so clean.

In recent years we've seen Canon steadily update its range of most popular EF lenses. In the last 12 months no less we've seen replacements for the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM and the EF 50mm f/1.8 , and it's in this review that we're turning our attention to a new recruit – the Canon EF 35mm...

I am sooooooo happy with this lens.

What a difference it makes to have a usable f/1.4 aperture! Unlike my Canon 50mm f/1.4, this lens delivers stunning results wide open. It is perfect for environmental portraits as well as landscape shots. The autofocus is rapid and accurate. The bokeh is smooth.
